FRANCE. Woman in Leaves.
43x100mm bronze, signed LALIQUE. Uniface. This is actually by Stanislav Sucharda (1855-1916, the great Czech medalist. Maier pictures is as Fig.48, p.131, with Sucharda's signature at lower left. The piece is not signed "R(ene).LALIQUE"and no doubt it is a Sucharda piece that Lalique marketed, seemingly without crediting the artist. Regardless, it is a very special work of art. MINT STATE.
